Our 2 Week New Zealand Honeymoon Fueled with Points & Miles - Honeymoon Part 3 (Ep. 118)

Описание: In this episode of Revolutionizing Your Journey, DeAndre Coke and Taryn Gisbert wrap up their 33-day honeymoon with a deep dive into their two-week adventure across New Zealand.
They start with a key lesson learned early: booking ahead is critical, especially during peak travel months from November through February. Their journey begins in Auckland, where they stayed at the Park Hyatt Auckland and enjoyed a walkable city, standout food, and waterfront views. From there, they head to Queenstown, a destination known for dramatic landscapes and adventure. Highlights include a stay at The Spire Hotel Queenstown, the thrilling Hydro Attack ride, a scenic Milford Sound flight, and a visit to Walter Peak farm with a historic steamship cruise. The episode also covers their campervan road trip from Christchurch to Auckland, offering a mix of freedom and logistical challenges. Memorable stops include the National Kiwi Hatchery in Rotorua and the iconic Hobbiton Movie Set.
They close with reflections on flexibility when booking travel with points and miles, along with practical tips for making a long, multi-stop trip run smoothly.
